zrd

A fast, minimal text editor for the terminal. That's it.

Install

cargo install zrd

Use

zrd myfile.txt      # Edit a file
zrd                 # Edit default scratch file (~/.config/zrd/default.txt)

Press Esc to quit. Changes save automatically.

Why zrd?

Fast - Opens instantly, no lag
Minimal - Does one thing: edit text
Familiar - Standard keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+A, etc.)
Mouse support - Click to position, drag to select, scroll wheel works
Auto-save - Never lose work
